Freshman Quarterbacks Don't Do What Jake Fromm Has Done at Georgia

PASADENA, Calif. — Somehow we've lost track of one of the most compelling stories of this college football postseason, the incredible journey of Jake Fromm from accidental starter to the very definition of a winner.

It's fair to ask now: How good can the Georgia freshman quarterback be?

"His ceiling," one NFL scout tells Bleacher Report, "is limitless."

And that's 14 games into a season that began on the bench at Georgia and will conclude against Alabama in Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship.

As a quarterback, you don't consistently win on the road in the SEC nine months removed from high school and don't calmly and efficiently lead an underachieving yet suddenly elite program through its biggest games with an unshakable, steely resolve unless you're unlike anything the college game has seen in decades.
